I love my car, I am bias though I have owned Subaru's for awhile now. I was however looking in to an Acura TL when I found this smoking deal. When it came down to the 2 I know the reliability is similar however cost of ownership is higher for the TL. I feel like the Legacy has more personality than the TL but the fit and finish of the TL was perfect. Sometimes I do regret not getting the LGT, and I like my 2011 more than the 2013 mainly because of the new steering wheel is horribly ugly and looks too cheap. And like you said for the cost comparison its the best car with AWD.
